Great shots David! Was this in Italy? The Adonis Blue is the flagship species of Kent Wildlife Trust and features on our logo – one of the few Wildlife Trusts to have ‘got away’ with not having the standard badger! The Adonis has recovered well in Kent after a translocation programme from a residual population in Dover to my local nature reserve (Queendown Warren, near Medway) about 15 years ago. It is now found on chalk downland sites all over the North Downs in mid-Kent and is due to be elevated from being a “critically endangered” species.

Excellent. Subtle, but it’s there! I’ll try to be more overt in future! I always think that any species which only occurs in grassland is meant to be very rare because the country is meant to be completely covered in forest!

Welcome

Hello, my name is David. Welcome to my photo blog about life on a remote Island and a house that used to be a school. I’m also on a journey of rediscovery of my childhood nature notebooks. Please feel free to explore and comment. It’s a pleasure to have your company.You can also follow The Hall of Einar on Facebook , Twitter and on Instagram
